NAVARRO-CHAPARRO, Karina; RIVERA, Patricia y SANCHEZ, Roberto. Water management analysis of the city of Tijuana, Baja California: Critical factors and challenges. Estud. front [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.33, pp.53-82. ISSN 2395-9134.
This article analyzes water management issues in the urban area of Tijuana for the period from 1991 to 2009. A comprehensive systematic management system was used as a theoretical framework. For the methodological framework, robust databases were compiled through documentary research, semi-structured interviews were conducted, and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) were used to visualize the spatial distribution of water use. The results reveal that water resource management is conducted under a linear process that does not consider a broad assessment of social elements in water anagement. The research results show also inequality in the spatial distribution of water services, and little reuse of treated wastewater and the need for long-term planning to secure water supply and consumption after 2020.
